January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

just posted and the next POST use's CHUMP OR BUM in an uncomplimentary
manner??Thats all,nothing more need to be said about it, i've never really
brought anything up about my personal life on the post, so maybe it was just my
turn.Back to things that are real I had a real friendship with a man back in
1980,that I knew on a first name basis,and would get together at the FORMOSA
DRAG STRIPS ETC. The man had just been beaten on a cut eye in Australia, to a
VERY GOOD English Heavyweight And formally world rated Bunny Johnson. I always
wanted to meet his older brother! The guy i'm talking about is Mike Quarry|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|One more post today, and i'll save you
good people from some more of my jive(I promise)JQ did a lot of commercials when
I was growing up,One in particular,was for Los Angeles weekly boxing, that could
be a number of arena's (right KENT?)IT show'd Andy Kendall Hitting Mike Quarry
ABOUT A DOZEN PUNCHES AFTER THE FINAL BELL!!Jerry of course stormed the ring,and
looked as he might anniliate the whole Kendall corner!talk about some scary
eyes!! Jerry intimadated the whole arena!anyway they played that commercial to
the theme of "LOVE STORY" and would show JERRY CHECKING ON MIKE, then go back to
Kendall's corner and some "choice words" it was an hilarious commercial,and a
little derogatory to the Quarry's I would Have to say. I have a question To any
OF the QUARRY family members. do you remember that commercial?? Linda or
Sonia,Brenda or anyone? I was in Delano Ca. AT THE TIME,we used to take on
Bobby's NORTH STARS in HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL(DELANO TIGERS).another commercial
had JERRY advertising And driving A EL CAMINO-"THIS VEHICLE IS JUST LIKE ME"
"TOUGH,AND A LOT OF CLASS" Then we watched Jerry in a shaving commercial,5-
minutes later the news came on where Jerry Quarry liked to have drowned from an
undertow at MARINA DEL REY, and if memory serves me right, JQ had a similiar
KERN RIVER incident.Not many people remember Jerry and Mike's miller lite
commercial entitled "saved by the bell" Which was also very clever,JERRY "less
filling" AND mike "tastes great" and before they could go to blows, a bell
rang!As MIKE QUARRY SAYS "SAVED BY THE BELL"|

commercials of Jerry. I only saw that old I dream of Geinie episode he was in.
When I was in the marines in 1976 i drove from Camp Lejune N.Carolina all the
way up to I forget i think syracuse? or somewhere in upstae N.Y.( I suffer from
C.R.S. (Can't Remember Shit)) to meet Jerry when he was doing the commentary
with Tom Brookshire for the George Foreman/ Scott Ledoux fight. After the fight
I went up to Jerry to get his autograph and some loudmouths were jokin with
Jerry when all of a sudden Jerry says " Don't make me start my comeback right
now" those guys shut up quick. I got my autograph and headed back to Lejune. He
was Bigger in person that I thought Looked like a football player. Powerful.
That was the only time I met him. He was a great influence on me. I'll never
forget him. |

Batman, and he did one or two of those Battle of the Superstars, just to name a
few things, along with the commercials. Keep coming back all, be good, and be
safe.|

busy and I haven't made all of the phone calls I told you I was going to make to
see if the book I had heard about was making any progress. I talked to Bobby
Quarry a few days ago but he hadn't heard anything new about the book.
The man working on the book, Daryl Breese, does come to this site at
times. So Daryl, what is up with the book? I will give him a call next
week. I can't do it this week as my schedule is full as I will be out of
town.Jimmy Dorsey is right, Mike Quarry is a great guy. I wish him all
of the best. He is very down to earth just like Jerry was.|
